Description
For sale is an exceptionally low-mileage 1987 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL (R107), finished in the classic colour combination of white with a blue interior.
The car was originally delivered new in Germany, later exported to Japan and has since been returned to Germany. Its use and maintenance history in Japan is documented by the accompanying records.
Following its return, the 500 SL underwent a technical inspection and was prepared for German registration. The historic vehicle inspection (H-registration) and German roadworthiness inspection (TÜV) were both completed recently; the TÜV is valid until 03/ 2028.
Particular highlights include the exceptionally low mileage of 45, 058 km, the new blue Sonnenland soft top, the body-coloured hardtop, and the extensive documentation accompanying the car.
Recent work includes: replacement of the soft top, work to seals and tensioning cables, replacement and inspection of various suspension and braking components, new control arms and brake hoses, inspection of the braking system, and replacement of the speedometer gear.
The car presents as a very well-kept and largely original R107, with an especially attractive colour combination and remarkably low mileage.
The combination of German first delivery, documented Japanese history, hardtop, new soft top and fresh German registration makes this 500 SL particularly attractive to enthusiasts and collectors.
Known points: During the technical inspection, it was recommended that the front shock absorbers should be replaced in the medium term due to age. The right-hand side of the driver's seat backrest also has slight play. Both points have already been taken into account in the asking price.
Viewings and test drives are welcome by prior appointment.
Further detailed photographs, records and documentation can be provided upon request.
€43, 900 gross incl. 7% VAT – VAT can be shown separately.
Reasonable negotiation is possible following an in-person viewing.
